This is where my rebellious roots actually paid off for me. I was heavy into the punk scene during the 80s and 90s, when it wasn't the "cool thing", and most of us were doing whatever we could to be anti-establishment. During that time, I got involved in the Straight Edge movement, and have stuck with it my whole life. It's not a religious choice, and no Biblical reasons. Simply that I made a vow many years ago because I liked the music, and have never seen a reason to break the vow.
